Knowing that Cedric seeking her out meant trouble, Mnie had to ensure Meredith’s safety.

    The man in the suit did not back down, however. “Miss Smith, don’t make things difficult for


    us.”


    “What do you mean by that? Are you going to kidnap someone in broad daylight?” Yvonne


    snapped.


    “Not me, but I can’t guarantee if the chairman will send someone else or not.”


    That was a tant threat, and Mnie’s expression darkened. Cedric would stop at nothing to achieve


    his goals. Contemting the situation briefly, she nodded and replied, “Fine, I’ll go see him.”


    After saying that, she moved to take Meredith from Yvonne. However, perhaps tired from the


    commotion, Meredith clung tightly to Yvonne’s neck and refused to let go. Mnie could only coax her


    with soft whispers.


    With the mall being so crowded and music ying, she softly told Yvonne, “You go don’t message you


    within two hours, call the police for me.”

    the man.


    At LeapCo’s branch office, Lee pushed open the office door and said with a serious expression, ” The


    chairman has gone looking for Mnie and Merry.”


    Eugene was in the middle of a conference call. He had been staying at the office almost every night


    due topany issues. When he heard what Lee said, his gaze turned solemn and he interrupted the


    meeting. “What did you say?”


    “The chairman got someone to bring Mnie and Merry to the hotel.”


    “Who told you this?”


    “William. He called me and told me that if you don’t want anything to happen to Mnie and her


    daughter, it’d be best to go to the hotel now. He said the chairman is very angry.”


    The air surrounding Eugene’s dropped sharply. He did not doubt William, but the fact that he was the


    one who informed him meant he and Cedric were scheming against him.


    It also meant that they might really do something to Mnie and Merry because of him. Eugene did not


    hesitate and immediately walked out of the office.


    The night was calm as the car came to a stop in front of the hotel. The man got out of the car and


    opened the door for Mnie. She was a bit relieved that Cedric had at least not gone crazy enough to


    take them to some remote ce.


    This ce was still in the central district and was bustling with people. She did not need to worry about


    extreme situations for the time being.


    Following the man to the top floor, she noticed that William was already waiting there. He wore his


    usual fake smile. “Good evening, Miss Smith. I told you we’re fated.”


    Mnie’s expression remained cold as she coldly replied, “Mr. Thames, so you’re the one who


    arranged for me to be brought here. If this is what you call fate, then it’s truly a coincidence.”

    She deliberately emphasized the words ‘arranged to be brought here‘ to signal to him that she did not


    want any more of his hypocritical pleasantries.


    William remained indifferent. “I misspoke. But Miss Smith, there’s no need to be nervous. The chairman


    just wants to have dinner with you.”


    With that, he pushed open the door behind him, revealing arge dining room. Mnie’s eyes flickered,


    but she kept her lips pursed as she followed William in.


    Meanwhile, a Maybach stopped at the hotel downstairs. Eugene got out of the car and strode toward


    the entrance with a stern expression. A turbulent storm was brewing in his eyes.
